Case Study: How We Boosted Conversions by 200% for a Berlin Startup

In today's digital world, a sleek website isn't enough. Startups need high-performing websites that engage users, load fast, and most importantly — convert. This case study showcases how Web Cast Creators helped a promising Berlin-based startup achieve a massive 200% increase in conversions within just three months of a full website revamp.

Background: Meet "GreenNest"

GreenNest is a Berlin-based eco startup offering sustainable home products. Despite having a great product lineup and strong values, their website was underperforming:

• High bounce rates (72%)
• Slow page load times (6+ seconds)
• Low conversion rate (0.8%)
• Poor mobile experience

They approached us with one goal: turn website traffic into paying customers.

Phase 1: Audit & Discovery

We began with a full digital audit including:

• Heatmaps & click tracking analysis
• SEO audit and performance benchmarks
• User interviews and UX testing
• Competitor review

The findings were clear: the site lacked a clear user journey, CTA hierarchy, mobile responsiveness, and brand storytelling. Time to roll up our sleeves.

Phase 2: Strategy & Planning

We built a conversion-focused plan with three core pillars:

1. Website Redesign: Fresh, modern UI with optimized content structure.
2. Speed Optimization: Reduced page load time from 6s to under 2s.
3. SEO & Mobile UX: Improved visibility and mobile-friendliness.

“The old site looked nice, but it didn’t guide users. We needed something that spoke to our audience and got results.” — Anna L., Founder of GreenNest

Phase 3: Implementation

We rebuilt the website from the ground up using custom WordPress design, with Shopify integrated for e-commerce. Here's what we did:

1. User-Centric Design

• Implemented sticky CTAs and an intuitive checkout flow
• Enhanced product images and added social proof
• Streamlined homepage with visual storytelling

2. Speed & Technical Performance

• Optimized images and implemented lazy loading
• Used clean, lightweight codebase
• Minimized third-party scripts and enhanced caching

3. SEO Improvements

• Restructured URLs, added alt tags, meta data, schema
• Focused on German keywords with high local intent
• Improved internal linking and blog content planning

4. Mobile-First Optimization

• Revamped mobile layout with collapsible menus
• Large, tappable buttons and auto-scaling images
• Fast, fluid checkout experience on small screens

The Results (After 90 Days)

The numbers speak for themselves:

• Conversion rate: 0.8% → 2.4% (200% increase)
• Bounce rate: 72% → 41%
• Average session duration: 1.2 min → 3.5 min
• Organic traffic: +65%

“After the launch, our sales literally tripled. Customers stayed longer, and the feedback was incredible. Web Cast Creators nailed it.” — Anna L.

What Made the Difference?

Success came from treating the website not as a digital brochure, but as a conversion engine. Every design and technical decision was focused on the user experience and business goals.

Bonus? Their team now manages content themselves through a custom WordPress backend we designed just for them — no coding needed.

Conclusion
